Which Printer is Currently Selected

[Guest]

I have a command button on one of my forms that is configured to print the
currently selected record. Thanks to questions & answers from this
discussion board it works like a champ.

I was just wondering, is there any way that I could display which printer is
currently selected as part of the button's caption text or as the control tip
text? If not, is there any way that I could bring up the standard print
dialog box so that users could verify which printer will be used before
sending the job?

You can use code to change the printer, that way you know that the reprot
will be sent to the right printer

Thank you. I realized after I submitted the question that I could just set
the default printer in the underlying report. Since the report goes straight
to the printer and never appears on screen, users wouldn't have an
opportunity to change the print location.

As a side note, access 2002 and later has a built in printer object, and you
don't need that "huge" amount of code.....
